Fertile land: 10 acres.

Qian Bao: Consistent 200 texts.

Grain: one stone of wheat and one stone of millet.

Other: None.

With the above belongings, thirty-two-year-old Liu Qianli, with his wife and children, was finally separated from Liu's family.

Then write a "hand book", that is, the modern household registration book, report to the village Zheng'an Fusheng, and wait for An Fusheng to report to the county after sorting out, and the county will make up again, and the household registration of a family of four will also be separated from Lao Liu's family.

It was also sent in triplicate, one to the household department in Chang'an for archiving, one to Beizhou, and one to stay in the county.

Since then, legally, they and Lao Liu's family have been two families.

At this time, the law also clearly stipulated: "Whoever shall divide the land and property shall be divided equally among the brothers." "Those who are uneven will be counted as encroached upon, and they will be reduced by three degrees if they sit on the stolen goods." ”

With the principle of equal division of brothers, and elders like Lao Liu, as well as village neighbors such as Li Zheng'an Fusheng, as well as the daughters-in-law's mother's family, Liu Lao Bang and Liu Grandma are biased, and the three sons are still divided equally.

It's just that Uncle Liu and Grandma Liu also have to count one each, and all the property of the old Liu family has to be divided into five equal shares.

The old couple wants to live with the eldest son's family, so it is equivalent to Liu Wanli's share of 39 acres of land, of which 9 acres of land is the three brothers' additional filial piety to the old couple, which means that the old couple will be born, old, sick and die in the future, and Liu Qianli and Liu Baili don't have to care.

But Grandma Liu was a desperate woman at the beginning, and women also have a certain right of inheritance, and the dowry is owned by the individual alone, not in the ranks of the family. As a result, Grandma Liu took pity on Liu Baili for having three sons to raise, and gave Liu Baili ten acres of dowry fields, so that Liu Baili also got twenty acres of land.

Therefore, it is said to be equal, but it is also unfair everywhere.

And then to the house.

If they still live together, the separation of the family is equal to no separation.

Under the circumstance that his wife and children would rather live in a thatched house than continue to stay in the old Liu family, Liu Qianli converted the room he lives in now, connected with the pots and pans at home, into money, and he has a consistent cash of 200 yuan.

In addition, this stone of wheat and a stone of millet were given by Mr. Liu when he thought that there was no food to eat after the family of four separated, so he gave them as appropriate.

Since the family was divided and the rations were given, Uncle Liu was afraid that Liu Wensu would not say much, but Grandma Liu had no scruples, and when the old Liu family and the others were waiting to leave, of course her grandmother immediately drove away the unfilial son who wanted to split the family. As for the beloved youngest son, naturally he can't be counted in the list, and he has to wait for the younger son who doesn't want to live together to start a new house before leaving.

At this time, the first moon had not yet risen, and the heavens and the earth were white.

In order to add some sadness, the snow that had stopped all day began to fall again at nightfall.

At first, it was still a small snow particle, and then it fell bigger and bigger, and it fluttered like a piece of wool.

When I walked from Lao Liu's house at the head of the village to the dilapidated thatched hut at the end of the village, the snow on the ground was almost half a foot thick, and my hair and clothes were covered with residual snow.

As soon as the roaring cold wind blew, Liu Chenxing let out a "yawn" without arguing.

"My little ancestor! Don't get cold! Liu Shi only got down to the ground and stood firm, when she heard Liu Chenxing sneez, she quickly picked up Liu Chenxing from the ox cart and ran to the hut.

This is an empty house that no one lives in the village, near the back hill at the end of the village.

Because of the remote location, even if there are three ready-made thatched houses, the neighbors who live separately cannot look down on it.

The family of four moved out in a hurry, and it was freezing on this day, although the hut was not good, but it was a place to live, so they chose this homestead as their new home.

It's just that the thatched hut has not been inhabited for many years, and it has fallen into disrepair, the rammed walls of the loess have long been cracked everywhere, the thatch on the roof has been crushed by the snow for days, and the cold wind has drilled into the house from all directions.

The inside of the house was not much warmer than outside.

Fortunately, Liu Qianli often went to the back mountains to hunt, and every time he would pass by here, he learned about the situation of the thatched hut, and when he left Liu's house, he not only borrowed money from an ox cart to pull luggage, but also bought firewood.

When the fire was lit in the snowy night with black lights, the light and warmth came, and the family of four couldn't help but smile with joy.

Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, put Liu Chenxing to stand by the fire, and hurriedly took out clean clothes from her wooden wedding box on the side, and asked while changing Liu Chenxing's wet clothes soaked in snow and water, "Warmer up, right?" ”

Liu Chenxing wanted to speak, but she shuddered, and a cold wind came in from nowhere, so cold that she was so excited that she couldn't wait to grow by the fire.

She moved closer to the fire, felt the warmth coming, and then looked at her new home.

It was supposed to be a hall, about eleven or twelve square meters in modern times.

There was no decent furniture left in the house, just a low square table with a broken foot and a few tattered straw mats piled up in the corner, which were covered with dust, and the hill was overrun by spiders, and the dense gray-white cobwebs were formed.

And the perennial uninhabited house always exudes a pungent musty smell, especially when the wind and snow blow into the house, the musty smell disperses, and it is not hidden.

Just when Liu Chenxing was looking, Liu had already changed her into clean clothes, and turned out her husband's son's clothes from the wooden box, only then did she notice that the little daughter was looking east and west, and knew that the little daughter loved cleanliness the most, so she hurriedly said: "The house has not been lived in for many years, and it is a little unclean." Today, we will take our own straw mats and spread them for one night, and tomorrow morning Ah Niang will clean them up. ”

Speaking of another gust of cold wind, Liu Shi couldn't help but shiver, looked at the roof that had collapsed in the northeast corner, and added: "Also, let Aya find a new straw and repave the roof, so that it will not be cold when you live there." ”

Liu Qianli didn't care about changing the clean clothes given by his wife, and was clearing the debris next to the fire, and spreading his own straw mat, when he heard what his wife said, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing, got up and said, "Huiniang, you Ming'er should take Ah Xing back to her parents' house to live." ”

At this time, it is impossible to get cold anymore, and the Liu family himself was changing into clean clothes, and when he heard the words, he glanced at Liu Qianli, and said with a smile: "What nonsense!" I have a husband, children, and my own new home, so how can I go back to my parents' house to live in the first lunar month! ”

Speaking of his new home, Liu's eyebrows and eyes are all undisguised smiles, taking advantage of the appearance of flowers and moons, it seems that even the crumbling broken thatched house has added a lot of color.

Liu Qianli looked at Hua Jiao's wife, and felt guilty and grateful, and finally said: "Hui Niang, I will find someone to build a new house after spring!" ”

For example, on the first day, twenty or thirty people helped lay the foundation, pillars and beams, and on the second day, forty or fifty people came to build walls and build foundations, etc., but the main family had to take care of at least three meals a day, generally "thick at both ends, thin in the middle" - that is, coarse grain in the morning and evening, and solid wheat noodles at noon.

After all, it costs at least 800 wen to build an earthen embryo room.

Now they have only three dollars in cash, how can they all use it to repair the house?

Liu refused: "This is not good! ”

However, in order not to make her husband feel guilty, she only said another reason, "When I leave the New Year, I have to take Ah Xing back to my parents' house to study books, and I have to take the county test in May, so what's the hurry!" ”

Liu Qianli has always listened to the Liu family in family affairs, so he nodded and said, "Cheng!" Then wait for your county test to build a new house, and I will also earn more in the past half a year. ”

Liu Qingshan was already hungry when he was growing his body, and as soon as Ye Niang finished speaking, he had already taken out a clay pot, "Ah Niang, let's make the twilight food first!" ”

Knowing that her son was hungry, her daughter was almost swallowing saliva when she heard it, and Liu smiled lightly: "Okay! In a while, the cured meat and corn sent by your uncle will be steamed together! ”

Knowing that there was cured meat, Liu Chenxing and Liu Qingshan jumped up with joy.

Liu Shi and Liu Qianli looked at each other and smiled.

For a while, there was a lot of laughter in the dilapidated thatched house, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

When he ate a mouthful of meat porridge, his whole stomach warmed up, and Liu Chenxing looked at the fire and smiled with satisfaction.

A new home, a new atmosphere, a new life begins!
